WordPress for beginners – using your new CMS.

Wordpress CMS

WordPress has become one of the better content management systems for maintaining your website. We have been using the system for years and not only custom code our own design “templates” for it but have also custom programmed special features when a project required it.

Since we have been doing more and more websites utilizing WordPress, we thought it would be helpful to do a post with instructions for beginners. Instead of reinventing the wheel and writing our own extended tutorials (we do give our clients personalized instruction before their site launches), we went straight to the source (WordPress.org) and found some other companies that have already done a great job of putting some together.
